Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006, also
referred to as Proposition 1 B bond funds. Proposition 1 B funds are allocated to transit

Fund (CTAF) fortransit security purposes and managed by Cal EMA.
The funds will be used to continue the Transit Security Improvement Project by
replacing security cameras that have exceeded their useful life and adding additional
